{Speaking Truth to Power}

I love Maria Popova's blog "Brain Pickings"....I so appreciate this wonderful soul's range of research and reading it takes to compile such a vast library of old and new wisdom—chock full of heart!! (This is what the Internet was 'invented' for....to store and share the world's wisdom!)

Don't miss Maria's post, "The Writing of Silent Spring: Rachel Carson and the Culture-Shifting Courage to Speak Inconvenient Truth to Power." Rachel wrote in the 1960s:

It is, in the deepest sense, a privilege as well as a duty to have the opportunity to speak out—to many thousands of people—on something so important.

Rachel Carson—and Maria Popova—are indeed extraordinary women to tell our daughters about! Deep appreciation to them both.
